I don't think Newton has ever been an extremely accurate passer. He used to have a very strong arm, and other physical attributes which allowed him to make plays.
Right now I think the injuries are really hurting him though. They should just shut him down for the year.
I know he's been a bit of a polarizing figure, but I think the hit's he's taken in previous seasons have been pretty brutal. It has to have taken a toll on him. I have to think the league looked at this, and decided that they can't have this next wave of running style college QB's face the same abuse, hence the way they are calling roughing the passer.
Teams would be interested in him...but like when the Eagles moved on from Donovan McNabb, I think teams might be wary of how much is left in Cam's tank.
